Fake news mitigation architecture – Identity
Nov 9th, 2016 by Jesper Kråkhede
When it comes to fake news the common denominator is either a false identity or anonymous identity. To enable a solution for this you need to have a verified identity. No matter how you spell it, if you are going to lie and face the risk of being identified as a liar, you will stand down.
An added feature, that I will describe later, is an integration with the law enforcement and with a strong identity it will be possible to send the information to the law enforcement they need for conducting an investigating.
The verified identity should be as strong as any e-identity that is approved by government. In Sweden, we use BankID. At least it should be a vetted identity using multi factor authentication.
